>> katie: thank you for watching "fox news primetime" and i am katie pavlich and i will be back tomorrow night 7:00 p.m. tucker carlson is up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." you've heard the name naomi with a prominent person in this country and prominent democrat for years. she is one of the founders of third wave feminists and will worked for bill clinton and al gore at last year she voted for joe biden. she has written a lot of books. we criticize by the name on the show but we didn't think we would agree on much to put it mildly. after the last election she surprised a lot of people by tweeting this "if i would have known biden was open to

lockdowns as he now states which is historically impressed and in any pandemic and a terrifying practice, one day i would never vote for him." well met, where did that come from? how did faithful lifelong democrat reach that conclusion? maybe whatever preconception, naomi wolf has been paying attention and that's true for all of us regardless who we watch for. people who watch carefully my have different views than they once had appeared the reason for that is simple: reality itself is changing very fast. all over the world's the countries that seem like bulwarks of traditional rallies, property -- suddenly have abandoned their long-standing traditions of protecting individual and every simple police state. it is not an overstatement. the change has been sudden and it's been dramatic. the pretext has been covid. consider canada, spelling ice covered neighbor to the north. not so long a ago, candidate a

strange place that its main problem was being uninterested. nothing seemed to happen there the great white waste of time they called it. not anymore. since covid arrived, canadian authorities bear no resemblance to the mounties you may remember. a back like bernice general putting down a coup, nothing too harsh for their own citizens. this footage was shot near the canadian city of gatineau. a group of friends gathered in a private home, no one plotting a homicide but relentlessly polite canadian celebrating the new year. apparently someone called the police and here is what happened next. [screaming] [bleep] >> hey, hey, hey! guys, guys!

>> get the [bleep] out of here! >> tucker: that is pretty shocking. about what happened after that may be worse than the footage you just saw. the please find everyone at the gathering $1500 a place and arrested the owner of the home. he wasn't charged with attacking a cop or spreading covid, which no one claimed he did, no, his crime was described as "refusing to provide personal information to the authorities. so they barged into his home and when he didn't answer the right questions quickly enough, they arrested him. that is not a public health measure. that is intentional humiliation. but their humiliation didn't stop there. some of the police officers in the video not wearing masks themselves so in other words, the cops who claim the people inside were violating corona while working themselves in

violation of it. when people on social media pointed this out come with the police and gatineau said they didn't have to follow public health laws because it was a puc health emergency. so just to show you how serious they are about stopping covid, the gatineau police were willing to spread covid themselves. the so-called liberal party didn't have a problem with any of this and neither did the supposedly prime minister. and not just canada. the entire atmosphere towards authoritarianism. the free u.k. last week and a group of people and west midlands created a an authority leader described as and if you have kids you want one because this could be shouting "makeshift club with a bar vip area with a dance dj." he has, a dj so naturally the authorities spring into action with thermal imaging helicopter that kick down doors. it was a threat worse than isis and they acted like it.

[screaming] >> freeze! >> police! it's not a joke, it's not a joke, it's not a joke! >> stand there! everybody get down! everybody stay calm and stay where you are! >> tucker: so we see what is happening in the anglosphere? no if only. a similar scene in medford this year. you see the images right now. the police with an unauthorized party force the people insight into closets and cover to hide under mattresses. the police later released a statement admonishing residents "we keep asking you for collaboration and responsibility. now even allowing for the translation to spanish that is orwellian but it no longer shocks you because a less dramatic version for more than a year.

there may be less door kicking going on in this country but the result is the same, traumatized citizens and destroy lives. listen to this gym owner in san francisco explain what happened to her livelihood under the lockdown. >> daniel kendall cross the golden gate and in a lot of debt. >> i've been a business owner for eight and a half years and running this business. it has been little to the ground. i actually thought about leaving the city. i'm watching the city burned to the ground. i'm watching all of my members lead. i don't have much of a reason to stay anymore. my business has been completely decimated. show me the data, the contact tracing data and i will close my door spirit until then, let me earn a living. >> tucker: daniel just an american citizen nobody cares what she thinks, let me earn a . the ability of work was considered a human right and one of the most basic human rights but then a lot of things were once considered basic human rights. remember my body my choice? you heard people chant that for

50 years but as recently as 2019 kamala harris endorsed that idea. >> women have been given the responsibility to protect you weight the human species. our bodies were created to do that and it does not give any other person the right to tell a woman what to do with that body. it is her body, it is her right, it is her decision. >> tucker: yeah, it is your body, it is you're right, sorry, covid. actually it's bill gates body now. guide to make sure shareholder in microsoft but since extraordinary powers what you can and cannot do to your body. bill gates would like you to take the coronavirus vaccine. it's not a request but if you don't comply you could lose your job. think we are exaggerating? listen to this waitress from brooklyn. speak with a 34-year-olds that she was fired after telling her employer she and her husband are considering starting a family and she had hesitations about getting the covid-19 vaccine. >> what is the biggest

reservation about getting the vaccine? >> i need more time, more research to come out and i have my reservations about fertility. >> jacobson said the restaurant sent out an email requiring staff to get vaccinated now eligible in new york. she pushed back and she received an email terminating her employment. >> do you think it is fair for a workplace to determine whether or not it's employee should be vaccinated? >> i don't. >> tucker: you heard what she said. she's not a crazy person. she is not a denier. i would like more evidence, more research to come out here chaz mark questions about the vaccine or any other vaccine in history. but if you have those questions you can't have a job. to be totally clear, we are not talking the vaccine denial, antibiotics or appear the woman you saw said she supports vaccines and by the way most people do support vaccines because they say more lives than

side effects and it's fair to ask what those side effects might be. why wouldn't it be fair to ask that. days ago "new york times" "a few rare blood disorders linked to the vaccine is not certain and investigations are underweight and some recorded cases. okay so let's say you want to results and you read about in "the new york times." sound fair question but sorry, lose your job for that. you might lose your right to travel within the country when you were born in. in a moment like this where things are moving so quickly in a dark direction, you have to wonder where are all the liberals? where are the leaders, we elect the people to protect us from irrational, destructive overreach like what we are seeing right now? those people are gone. they ceded all authority to those who describe themselves as scientists. joe biden admitted this in august. watch. if you are sworn in in january and we have coronavirus and the flu combining, which many scientists have said is a real possibility, would you be prepared to shut this country

down again? >> i would be prepared to do whatever it takes to save lives because we cannot get the country moving until we control the virus. >> if the scientists say shut it down a question mark >> i would shut it down. i would listen to the scientists. >> tucker: you thought the voters were in charge of the country speaking to their elected leaders. with elections but that's not true. the scientists are in charge. i would listen to the scientist. and biden is not the only one who says this. this is the staple of our public conversations these days. what do the same to say? yesterday at the scientists of all scientists dr. anthony fauci said we should all be wearing a mask in 2022. this was not a surprise. he thought the vaccine that your life could return to normal, no. according to tony fauci, you thought wrong, things are never getting back to normal. you and the president has suggested that will approach normality towards land of the year.

what does normal mean? do you think americans will still be wearing masks, for example, in 2022? >> you know, i think it is possible that that is the case. again, it really depends on what you mean by normality. if normality means exactly the way things were before we had this happen to us, i mean come i can't predict that. >> tucker: oh come i can't predict that if it means turning to the life you love. so what can dr. fauci predict? well, we don't use masks but we do need masks, actually probably need to masks and three mask and maybe those mass forever. those are some of his predictions and we've shown you the greatest hits before and we will not recognize again. but the question is we should be thinking about this, what will this current suspension of bill of rights have on american society over time? what kind of country while your grandkids live in? is anyone asking that question? no, not anymore.

questions are disloyal. if you believe in science, simply obey. meanwhile the cost amount, real ones, measurable bankruptcy, addictions, suicide. what will the country look like when it's over? well it could be dirtier for sure, the environment. here is one unintended consequence of the locked and that absolutely nobody is talking about. the degradation of natural environment. >> odds are over the past several months of dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, you have seen a mask or two on the ground. the chattahoochee river keeper jason olmstead has never seen the river filled with so much plastic. and we are not just talking about water bottles and food containers. >> we have actually pulled over 2 million pounds of trash out of the river system and gloves and masks have not been something we have seen in the past. >> tucker: so where are all the people that care about nature, the environments? they are hiding with the free speech people in the pro-choice community to afraid to speak up.

one person who is not afraid to speak up, naomi wolf, who was there and for appearing on the show tonight. letter of warning to young patriot and the ceo of the daily cloud. i appreciate you coming on. i never thought i would be talking to an excepted debate and i'm sure we disagree on an awful lot, but on this, i was struck by the bravery it must have taken to write it. i'm sure you lost friends over this for doing this. tell us why you are doing this? >> well, thank you, tucker, i'm happy to be talking to you. it is not just that one tweet. i've been writing pretty much every day for months and months about what i see as a terrible crisis that we are in that we have to recognize under the guise of a real medical pandemic and we are really moving into a situation. and that is as you say, that

transcends everything that you and i might disagree or agree on that should bring together left and right to protect our constitution. we are absolutely moving up to what i called step 10. i wrote a book in which i reported the ten steps that would be tyrants always take when they want to close down a democracy whether the left or right. they do this same temp things. and something i never thought i would see in my lifetime and described it very, very well it is step 10 the rule of law and that is where there is no way around it. >> tucker: i'm so embarrassed. it is just another example, they were million of them of why partisanship is stupid. it makes you stupid. i guess i just assumed that we would not agree on stuff, so i didn't read your tweets. i obviously should have been and i missed a lot but again, it is nice to remember you should treat peoples as individuals instead of political parties. you have been predicting this for a long time, you just said. why don't you think others

aren't seeing this? >> well, unfortunately, a lot of people are seeing it, but we are not unified and as you pointed out, we are a very divided country for a lot of reasons. >> tucker: yes. >> i am in touch with many patriots of all backgrounds and walks of life who are horrified. i interviewed, for instance, a group of conservative moms in florida who are mobilizing to try to get schools open and still worried about what is happening to their kids. i talked to a mom, a famous gymnast and activist in san francisco on the left, who is horrified. you know, i've interviewed dr. spirited interviewed ordinary people, restaurant owners of all walks of life who are absolutely, unable to even articulate their fear and horror recognizing that the state has now crushed businesses, kept us from gathering and free assembly to worship as the

first amendment provides. it is evading our bodies as you mention the violation of the fourth amendment, restricting movement, binding us in new york city. i could be fined $15,000 a day if i gather with more than ten or 25 people depending on the state where i live. which is a complete violation of the first amendment and violation go on and on and on. i talked to restaurant owners looking at a sector in which tens of thousands of small businesses have been crushed. why whether they crushed? not because the pandemic force them to, there is no real science underlying a lot of these closures. it is because the autocratic tyrants in the state in the national level are creating this kind of merger of corporate power and government power, which is really characteristic of fascism into '20s. they are using that to engage in emergency orders that simply

strip us of our rights, rights to assembly, rights to worship at all the rights the constitution guarantees. people are definitely horrified and noticing. i think people are shocked and divided as i mentioned before. and the other thing that happens, you said this is all very sudden. and we look back in march 2020, a lot of things started to move that kind of locked into place the policies that are kind of 360-degree full on totalitarian policies. so a lot of us are in culture shock. luckily or unluckily come i've been studying closing democracies for 12 years. so i recognize early on once i realized new york state had emergency powers, i know from history that no one gets emergency powers. they always drag it on and drag it on. so every month, i'm getting in my email and announcing governor cuomo is extending emergency measures. extending emergency measures only from history do i know how

predictable it is when you start to have elected officials say we are not going to follow the constitution because there is a pandemic. and i just want to say lastly command that i promise i will stop, nowhere in the constitution does it say all of this can be suspended if there is a bad disease. we have lived through typhus, color, polio, the spanish flu, and we have had an attack on our soil and never have there been months and months and months of emergency powers when we weren't actually fighting a war. >> tucker: that's right. >> this is completely unprecedented and lockdowns have never been done in society and really, we are turning into a of totalitarian state before everyone's eyes and i really hoy because a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back. >> tucker: man, i'm starting

to think we are being divided as a country precisely so we don't have conversations like this. i hope you will come back. naomi wolf what a pleasure, eye-opening pleasure it was to talk to you tonight, thank you. >> thank you, tucker, likewise, thank you. >> tucker: in the name of inclusive's 50 the biggest corporations now teaching employees that they need to be ashamed of how they reform. who is behind this? we will look into that straight ahead. but first the team behind the show was watching new programming show on fox nation and we will have a new podcast. a new documentary series. here is the trailer. i can't believe i'm shooting onto hickok 45 range.

♪ ♪ >> tucker: the political leadership voted to defend the police last year. what did they do with all the money? they put some of it into a new initiative to degrade and destroy their own people. the city is now running the homeless shelter that is passing out heroin pipes and distributing so-called booty pump it kids and for real. the human services department say the program reflects the varied needs of those experiencing homelessness in seattle. jason rantz eight radio host documenting the destruction of his city joins us tonight. jason thank you for coming on and if you really hated the people you were in charge of, it seems you would do things like this. >> when you teach addicts who are already the hardest to get off of the streets a more efficient way to get high and a way that last longer when you are doing the so-called booty bump kids. you make it that much easier to

stay addicted to. we are an organization of downtown emergency services center that should be helping these people. they say this is all part of a home production model that is about being where the addict is making sure that since they were going to engage in this behavior anyway, at least they are doing it safer. but at the end of the day, the results speak for themselves and hopelessness and addiction is getting worse in seattle and king county. to be just had a stunning increase. and that is in the language of the very people doing the study of an increase in sentimental overdoses, going through the roof. every step of the way, we are seeing the results worsening, not getting better. so maybe reduction is literally doing the opposite. >> tucker: maybe it is intentional. if you did this to your kids come obviously you would hate your kids and make it easy for them to do heroin. a lot of people -- it will kill them ultimately. why isn't it very clear to us that they wouldn't do this to a population they loved or cared

about? >> because he has sort of been to this pc culture. they would say they don't want to stigmatize anybody experiencing this. you and i have had this position before. i don't want to stigmatize people but people that are sick and need help but the act of shooting up or smoking heroin. you should not be glorifying it. we should not be making it sound like it is exciting to give another aspect of drug addiction a try. we should be making sure everybody understands that this is unacceptable. it is not okay to do this in a park. it is not okay to do this in an alleyway, and it is not okay to do it in a city backed center for homeless, especially not okay to do it with city funds. >> tucker: the funny thing is if they were passing out marlboros to people they would freak out. those are bad for you. [laughter] but not heroin. it is a diseased mind responsible for this. jason, it is great to see you, thank you. >> think you tucker.

>> tucker: you are not allowed to notice what's happening in seattle or the big cities collapsing but robin d'angelo charged with making you not notice. according to robin d'angelo come america's biggest problem has nothing to do with economics, it's not crime or not mismanaget of the people in charge. the problem with americans is they are dna. now, insane society rejects that for what it is open racism, but robin d'angelo has gotten richer and more famous. she's all over television saying the same thing. your skin color determines whether or not you are a good person. >> i will never forget asking a group, okay, what if you could give feedback on inevitable and awesome unaware racist assumptions and behaviors? i will never forget this black man raising his hand and saying "it would be revolutionary." and you know, just like take that end. all the white people i want you to take that end. revolutionary that we would receive the feedback with grace,

reflect and seek to change the behavior. that is how difficult we are. wow that is how big a-hole we are. >> tucker: jimmy fallon, just wanted to sing songs and get caught up in this horrible moment and going along with it. that was last year, by the way, robin d'angelo has not gone away. now she is delivering video lectures as part of something called linkedin learning series. if lincoln is behind it, it's everywhere. several major corporations direct to the learning platform which is owned by microsoft. in one of her lunatic presentations d'angelo notes "to be less white is to be less oppressive, less arrogant, less defensive and more humble." you see that on your screen. the present invention urged employees to be less white. again, many corporations are using linkedin for training including coca-cola which you will be surprised to know is run by a white guy. jimmy vance of the book, i have

to wonder, what effect this kind of stuff is happening on our society? >> first of all, it tucker it is ridiculous and frankly destroying our society. i think about my own family, tucker and one of the great things that has happened to me and the greatest thing in my life is i married a woman who was not the same skin color is me. i was able to do that because i grew up in the country that taught us not to think about each other as members of a racial group. we were taught to think about each other as people. what these people are doing constantly forcing us to focus on the color of our skin is destroying an essential part of american heritage to judge people on their character but they are doing it for cynical reasons but at the end of the day they will destroy some critical and good about this country in which fight back against it. >> tucker: i wonder how can you live -- we have truly a

diverse country, no maturity of religion and even barely ethnicity at this point. i don't think anybody is mad about that, but how do you have a country like that if you are taught by your leaders to hate each other because of your differences? how does that work long term? >> welcome at the end of the day, it doesn't work, tucker. one of the big things happening in our country right now we are constantly divided against each other because that is the way the leaders wanted. it is important to ask what is going on? why is this happening? if you look behind identity politics it's almost always about power. what happens to you if you don't participate in these trainings? what happens if you don't echo the party line? two things happen to you. first of all more precarious at your job and easier to fire you if you don't go along with the woke hr department. the second thing that happens his depraved core freedom of speech. the two things the core fundamental values and rights in this country right to provide for your family, the right to participate in the self-government of this country are both taken away from you if

you don't partner, if you don't toe the woke party line. >> tucker: that's right. this can't be legal. it is happening everywhere. at some point, people will start to file a class action suits and we will support them when they do. jimmy vance, great to see you thank you so much. >> thank you. so murder rates in almost every city in america and almost every city, we haven't checked all of them but the big ones way, way up, crime is way up and out of control. at that exact moment, congress is trying to tell you you don't have a right to defend yourself. they are trying to take your guns away. it is not a legal right. we have a very specific segment coming up on what exactly they are planning for your self-defense. that is next. ♪ ♪

i don't think so. >> tucker: into such a smart point. it is so interesting if you look at the death toll over the past nine months of american citizens killed by gunfire almost nobody who pulled a trigger of any of those thousands of killers was a legal gun owner so why focus on legal gun owners? >> we know why, tucker why black lives matter state of the cities when burning down cities this summer. they didn't go out to the suburbs for a reason. they want you and i to disarm so they are left-wing street groups can abuse us at will. i know you personally experienced it. that is only reason they want to do this. when they are done doing this, they will have corporate partners go after ammo. they will go after all the things you and i need. a weapon without ammo doesn't do me any good appeared it's like handing sheila jackson lee book. >> tucker: that is a totally fair point. why do the rest of us play along? there will be tragic mass

american finance. who is michael? one of the few americans who understand the housing bubble of 2,000 would lead to systemwide destruction of our economy, which in the end it did. how did michael manage to see that coming? unlike most investors he's trained to assess problems empirically on the basis of evidence rather than theory. if you are interested in the details of what he was saying in 2007-2008, the big short basically -- basically on the last financial crash. with that in mind what does michael say about the economy now? is highly concerned about something called modern monetary theory a.m. et, mat is the belief that big governments like ours can pay for everything and definitely simply by printing more money. that is an old idea but there is a problem with it. printing more money causes inflation inevitably and no one denies that, it is true. what makes met new and alluring

it's the risk claim to have a solution to the problem. radically increased taxes, less cash in the system would mean less inflation. people don't have income dispense then prices can't go up as quickly and when you have no money, you can't overpay for goods and services, no inflation. does that sound appealing to you? to a certain kind of socialist academic, it makes perfect sense. what does the public think of this plan? nobody asked them to michael burry thinks the rest should be prepared for the consequences of this "the u.s. government is inviting inflation with mmet policies" he wrote over the weekend with a series of tweets. he went on extensively from a 1974 book "dying of money" which explains what germany look like years ago before hyperinflation change that country and the rest of the world forever. as it collapsed the german economy took on "unmistakable characteristics. one was the great wealth that

was favored and many great fortunes spring up overnight. the cities had aimless and wanted view. prices in germany steady in business and the stock market booming. the exchange market and other currencies rose for a time and for mark was the strongest currency in the world. side-by-side with the wealth were pockets of poverty and greater numbers of people on the outside of the easy money looking in but not able to enter. the crime rates soared and accounts at the time to live demoralization that crept over the common people compounded of weariness with the breakneck pace to no visible purpose, and their fears from watching their own precarious position slip while others grew so conspicuously rich? speculation alone while adding nothing to germany as well became one of the largest activities. the fever to join in turning a quick market infected nearly all classes everyone from the

elevator come operator up was playing. and then inevitably, of course, it all collapsed. the deutschmark in the summer of 1922, all of them were not worth enough by november 19232 by a single newspaper or train tickets. that was the spectacular part of the collapse but most of the real loss and money wealth and immense effort much earlier. a book worth getting pure does it sound familiar? don't think about it says the biden administration. we have for female treasury secretary. the critical diversity component of economic policy has been covered. rest assured. but michael burry is not rest assured and not convinced. yesterday he sent this tweet "people said i did not one last time i did but i want this time and still no one listens, but i will have proof i warned." you have heard a lot about an armed insurrection that took

statement. it was dishonest, completely dishonest, dishonest enough you should be worried about it. white supremacist there is no proof that they are responsible. and this was an armed insurrection. nobody is found through the arrests to reach that conclusion firmly until julie kelly did. she writes the greatest new piece on a topic and we recommend tonight. thank you for joining us. i'm glad that you actually did the work that may be "the new york times" could have done. where you look at the people arrested to assess the claim was this is an armed insurrection and what did you find? >> tucker, i know you will be shocked to learn the insurrection trope that we have been hearing the past six weeks is not true of more than 200 people arrested so far, mostly with misdemeanors, trespassing and disorderly conduct charges. only 14 people have been charged with any type of weapons violation. only a handful of those people actually used any kind of weapon i'm a pepper spray, a helmet, a
